Well except for the fact that feature of the dialect are now being used 
in the sources...

That error implies that the compiler can operate in C99 mode, but that 
it is not doing so.  Is this the case ?  If so, then the real bug is 
that the compiler is not being given the flag(s) that it needs to enable 
this mode.

Cheers
